I know alot of you are going older than this, but my kid just turned 6. I put a CD in the car a few weeks back. His response was why are you putting a DVD in here? Made me realize that was the first CD I've bought in 10+ years.

Ah yes, pizza and corn. The wife and I were in an antique store a few years back, she calls my name. When I turn around I see her holding a stack of those lunch trays with an unamused look. She then says, "Were officially old." 🤣
